And so you have come back to me and say the old loves growing yet You've tried through all these weary years you've tried too vainly to forget Oh no I cannot take your hand God never gives is back our youth The loving heart you slighted then was yours my friend in perfect truth [ mandolin ] Come close and let me see your face your raven hair is tinged with snow Oh yes it is the same dear face I loved so many years ago Oh no I cannot take your hand... [ guitar ] Farewell I think I love you yet as friend to friend God bless you dear And guide you through these weary years to where the skies are always clear Oh no I cannot take your hand... [ fiddle ] Oh no I cannot take your hand...
